Shaving-mirror.



DANIEL, J. McISAAO, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHAVING MIRROR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 28, 1908.

Application filed October 3, 1907. Serial No. 395,750.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL J. MOISAAC, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented. new and useful Improvements in Shaving-Mirrors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to mirrors or those connected with shaving stands and provides a compact and convenient portable mirror which may be adjusted in any direction and having at its base provisions for the support of the shaving mug and shaving and hair brushes and the razor. Provisions are also made for a roll of paper to be used by the party while shaving and all of these features are more clearly described in the following specification, set forth in the claims and illustrated in the drawings, where:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved mirror. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the adjusting means for the mirror. Fig. 4 is a modified form of razor rack. Fig. 5 is a modified form of supporting bracket.

The device is mounted u on a base made of wood or other suitab e material and of sufficient diameter or dimension to form a substantial footing for the mirror which is carried by an upright 11, fitted into the base and having at its upper end a telescopic section 12 which is adjusted to any desired height by means of the thumb screw 13. At-

the upper end ofthe section 12 is a fork 14 having a thumb screw 15 to properly adjust the angle of a block 16 which is perforated to receive the screw 15 and plays between the two arms of the fork. This block carries a spring latch 17 which is forced outward and into one of the holes 18 of a plate 19 which is pivoted at 20 to the block 16 so that it may be turned when desired and locked by the latch 17.

The mirror 21 is secured to the plate 19 and this mirror is made of any desired shape but is preferably oval. As already explained it may be turned from its vertical position as shown in Fig. 1 to. a horizontal position by sim ly withdrawingthe latch 17 from the per 'oration 18 and giving the mirror a quarter turn allowing the latch to find. a new hole to retain the mirror in its horizontal position. It is easily seen that the mirror may be turned at any angle from the vertical by the screw 15 which clamps the.jaws so as to hold the block 16 with the mirror at any angle.

The upright 11 is rovided with a set of.

spring fingers 22 to e clamped atany desired height and is adapted to hold a shaving brush while the hair brush is secured to the base by means of a spring finger 23. Surrounding the, lower end ofv the upright 11 is a box 24 preferably cylindrical in shape and free to be removed from the standard when desired. This box also has a removable cap 25 and an overlapping side 26 shown in Fig. 1 leaving a slot and being made adjustable by screws 27. Through this slot passes the paper 28 whichis arranged in a roll within the box and around the standard, the edge 26 of the overlapping side acting as a knife to cut off a certain amount of paper after it' has been Withdrawn from the box. An opening 29 is also provided to move the paper forward after it has been cut.

The razor is carried by the forked brackets 30 standing from. the base 10 and may be two or more in number, or a single bracket such as shown in Fig. 4 with the two wings 31 adapted to each hold a razor may be substituted if desired. The mug is held by a support 32 carried by the arm .33 to which it is pivoted at 34. This support has several fingers 35 to grasp the mug and one of them is adjustable but under tension of a spring 36 so that it may be carried out far enough to grasp the cup and hold it when supported by the plate 32.

In case that it is found necessary to support the mirror from the wall instead of a portable stand such as above described and shown a rod 37 is provided and which is pivoted to a bracket 38 by means of a thumb screw 39, the bracket having a plate 40 by which it is secured to the wall of the room. The extension 12 may be slipped into this rod and held at the desired point by means of the screw 41.

It is obvious that various othermodifications may be resorted to in the construction and arrangement of the details of the inven tion but the device as here shown provides a shaving stand -which forms a handy and com act article to carry all of the shaving out t and may be placed upon a table while the person who is shaving himself may re main seated in a chair.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination with a base, of a mirror supporting upright on the base adapted to receive a roll of paper on a portion thereof, and a boX surrounding the portion of the up right carrying the paper and having an opening through which the paper is drawn.

2. In a device of the class described the combination of an upright secured to the base, a fork secured to the upright, a block pivotally secured between the arms of the fork, a mirror adjustably mounted on the 10 block, an apertured plate secured to the mirror, and a spring actuated latch carried by the block and adapted to engage in one of the apertures of the plate to secure the mirror in its adjusted position.

In testimony whereof, I ail 1x my signature '15
